Batman theme composer dies at 85

By Mark O’Neill

The man who composed the famous “Batman” theme, Neal Hefti, has died at the age of 85.

The Batman theme ran from 1966 to 1968, became a Top 40 hit and secured the 1966 Grammy Award for best instrumental theme.   But Hefti admitted that it was one of the hardest musical themes that he had ever written – and one that he almost gave up on.

Thank God he didn’t because it subsequently went down in cult history as one of the most memorable theme songs ever (and one of my personal favourites).  

So in memory of Neal Hefti, may he rest in peace, raise your speaker volume because here comes…..BATMAN!
